Student protests in Albania turn violent as demonstrators clash with police
Dozens of people detained after government building and two banks set on fire as tens of thousands march over education costs and corruption Tens of thousands of students have taken to the streets of Tirana, the Albanian capital, setting alight a government building and two banks and hurling stones
What the coverage shows
All four outlets frame the story as student-led protests in Tirana turning violent, with clashes, damaged or burned buildings, and police involvement. The Associated Press and France 24 give the most detail on the policing and the wider anti-government angle, while The Guardian US foregrounds detentions and says two banks were set on fire, a detail not mentioned in the other extracts. Channel 4 News is the briefest, noting only that the protests turned violent in Albania’s capital.
